#7 of 57 Re: 2008 V6 Escape Stalls at speed [susie24] by junebugg Oct 14, 2007 (9:00 am)
Replying to: susie24 (Oct 10, 2007 6:24 am) I have a 2001 Ford Escape and have been having similar problems. When I was stopped, and would push the accelerator to go, the car would sputter like it was going to stall and wasn't getting any gas. Sometimes it would finally go, other times it would stall out. I've almost gotten in to several accidents because of it. I took it to the Ford Dealer who told me it was the IAC motor- so I got that replaced. Took the car home and was still having the same problems. Took it back to the dealer, and this time I needed a new MAF motor- so they replaced that and it still didn't fix the car. I took it back again, and they told me they could not find anything that was wrong and would affect the drivability of my vehicle. I begged to differ. So, I took it somewhere else, and after keeping the Escape in the shop for a week, they were unable to duplicate the problem. I was still having that problem, when then the car decided to start stalling out when I would put it in reverse or drive. Took it back to the shop, paid to get another part replaced last Friday, it worked fine for a week, and then this weekend I was driving and it started sputtering again, died when shifting in to reverse or drive, and completly lost power and died when I was driving down the street! I got it restarted and made it home ok, but I'm done with Ford and my Escape. Replies to this message: dctalkz (Oct 21, 2008 3:45 pm)
#8 of 57 2003 Ford Escape stalls out by coopchang Jan 06, 2008 (5:41 pm)
On four different occasions my Ford Escapr stalled with no power just after leaving my apartment. Started it right up & ran fine after. I took it to the dealership & they say no codes were tripped & basically told if it happens again & the check engine light goes on to have it towed in. This is very frustrating and the check engine light has never gone on. Any Ford mechanics have any advise? Thanks, John
#9 of 57 2008 Ford Escape Stalling Problem by cotuitboy Jan 16, 2008 (12:24 pm)
I am experiencing the same issues, my new escape stalls while idling and also when slowing down approaching stops in the road. I am also experiencing 2 and 3 turn starts, but that is the least of my worries. The stalling is a major problem and am having the same issue with the dealers, not knowing what to do. I did find out that Escapes dating back a few years have had similar occurances and a service bulletin has been put out (TSB-07-5-6). I am going to the dealer again and specifying this TSB be looked into.
#10 of 57 TSB-07-5-6 Get this taken care of! by mschmal Jan 27, 2008 (12:33 pm)
Some 2005-2008 Escape and Mariner vehicles equipped with a CD4E automatic transaxle and built from 8/1/2004 through 2/15/2007 may exhibit an engine stall when coming to a stop or when engaging the transmission into drive or reverse. This condition may be intermittent and often occurs after extended drives. There may be no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored. This may be caused by internal wear in the torque converter which prevents it from unlocking. Replies to this message: bdyment (Jan 27, 2008 6:13 pm)

Replying to: mschmal (Jan 27, 2008 12:33 pm) Does this affect both 4 and V6 Escapes?
#13 of 57 Intermittent starting problem by diane03 Feb 19, 2008 (7:43 am)
I have an 03 escape that runs great. Only problem is that periodically it doesn't start. You can hear car crank, just won't turn over. you wait alittle while, and then it turns over with no problem. Any one have or hear of this this problem????? Its very frustrating Replies to this message: jrountree (Apr 15, 2008 8:12 am) coopchang (Apr 16, 2008 7:35 am) jrountree (Apr 16, 2008 3:22 pm) and 2 more... diane03 (Apr 18, 2008 8:04 am) asus29 (Aug 20, 2008 11:51 am) shoedawg06 (Sep 10, 2008 8:26 am) irishamy (Sep 19, 2008 7:29 am)

Replying to: bayeclark (Oct 03, 2007 6:34 am) i have an 02 escape and had the same problem, the computer diagnostic say it was a bad coil too but now i am replacing the last 2 out of six and still not convinced it will solve the problem, these coils are not cheap and buying all six in a matter of 3 weeks is rediculous, i will post later if replacing every coil will solve the mysterious rough idle problem. good luck Replies to this message: claspilljm (Jun 16, 2008 12:50 pm) scoobysmom (Sep 07, 2008 3:00 pm) claspilljm (Sep 07, 2008 3:32 pm)
#15 of 57 Where are they? by sanipass Mar 04, 2008 (7:56 pm)
Ford is always saying they are built tough, so its no wonder they don't want to hear they've built nothing but lemons. when i need help with my ford escape i pay 75$/hour for them to look at the damn thing and tell me there is nothing wrong with it. and try to tell me to bring it back when it happens again. well who the hell do i do that when they've emptied my pockets and done nothing for me?its all a scam, we are all suckers and they know it. i am the proud owner of a new GMC Seirra and i am loving the service with a smile. i got my first oil change for free. ford dealer charged my wife 545$ to repair a broken coolant pipe with a piece of rubber hose and two friggen dollar store clamps!!! suckers.

Replying to: diane03 (Feb 19, 2008 7:43 am) Diane, I have the same issue, 2003 Ford Escape that periodically does not start. It seams to happen when their is a significant change with temperature in any particular day. Once the engine has cooled down, say 1-hour, it start right up. I have taken it to the Ford Dealership, they can not find the problem, no computer codes for them to read. Have you had any success?
